A Hint to Girls.

Some one has said that there are
thousands of ruined Englishmen roam
ing about the Continent because they
could never persuade themselves to
lead trumps at whist. Similarly. there
are thousands of women living only
half lives because they have never
taken the trouble to examine their
cards, find out which is their strong
suit and study how to play it with the
highest skill. If girls were only taught
to concentrate their energies upon
what they are really clever at and
would learn to do that something a.
well As it possibly could be done. there
are very few of them who would not
be able to earn living If necessary.

He had just kissed the "blarney stone, y
had exchanged greetings with the
Mayor of Dublin, had learned the
"rich Irish brogue" and had been al
most led TO believe that Europe was
ready to bow down and worship.
He was dreaming of his return home;
how bis beloved fellow citizens would
joyfully welcome the plumed knight ;
of the devotion of the Northern Irish
men and the reverence of the Southern
negro.
In fancy, be pictured the sons of
Ham crowding round his palace car
in the tour of 'S8 and yelling for Mr..
Blaine with all the power which a
plentiful supply of whiskey and patri-
otic enthusiasm can generate.
Just about the time Mr.. Blaine was
dreaming of this, on o1e side of the,
ocean, meeting of a Southern negro
press association. on the other, was
condcmning him as unworthy of
the public confidence and branding
him q demagogne Of the most faithless
order.

"Lo, THE POOR INDIAN p,

A Recently Returned Carolinian Who
- has Given the Subject Considerable
Study, Discourses ON the Present
Condition and the Future of the Cop-
per-Col0red Gentlemen Of the West,
Below we present an interview with
Col. z. 81 Winston, Register of the
Land Office at Lewiston, Idaho, and
we would most respectfully dedicate ii
to the "Philanthropieis in Boston,
the old women of Philadelphia" and
to the Department of the Interior at
Washington.
Colonel, tell me ething of the
Indian Reservation and the Indians. /"
"The Nez Perces Indian Reserya-
ton is 6 miles from Lewiston, Idaho,
and contains six hundred thousand
acres of land. This land, if open to
settlement, would produce from 40 te
20 bushels of wheat to the acre, and
would make happy homes for ten
thousand families. There are now on
this Reservation about 800 Indians
"What do they do?'' "The men hunt
and fish, and two or three of them
have few ponies and few cattle.
The women fish. aud few of them
have little garden patches. The In.
dians will not work."
GLOW are they governed s'
"They are in state of wardship.
They are not citizens-They are in
about the same condition the negroes
would be now if, at the end of the war
they had been put off in various coun-
tries and fed by the Freed mans
Bureau"
What is their future?"
"They have none.
1t is impossible for them under the
present system of wardship to amount
to anything. The system itself pre-
vents the race becoming anything
but lazy, dirty, lousy set of vaga-
bonds without the poetry of the Ital-
ian or the guitar of the Spaniard.
You seek in vain for Minnehaha,
although an Indian be an orator, poet,
law giver, philosopher, fnancier, he
cannot rise above the level of vaga-
bond, under this SYSTEM"

make trips to the East and repeat the
old story Of the Indians wrongs to
Boston Philanthropists and old wo
men in Philadelphia and are reward
ed by money presents which they
bring back and bet on horse races.
These few are opposed to a change of
the system. The rest know nothing
and care nothing about anything"
"What is the remedy?"
"Make the Indian citizen, let him
take up land as citizen-seH the rest
and give the Indian the money. They
would each have then, say 100 acres
Of land to each family and 81 900 in
cash. That is more than either the
Governor or God Almighty ever did
for me-
"Is not this dangerous expert

"How? No. 1t succeeded with
the negro and he was made citizen

Do this and you give to civilization
millions of acres of the very best lands
